This book includes the manuscripts of the talks presented at the International Ruminant Reproduction Symposium in Anchorage, Alaska. These papers review current and relevant topics in ruminant reproduction and will be helpful to scientists and students interested in both fundamental and applied aspects of ruminant reproduction. Emphasis has been given to recent advances in our knowledge of the ruminant genome and the application of this information.

Ruined by Excess, Perfected by Lack: The Paradox of Pet Nutrition

£40.00

Present day nutrition dogma is at odds with the diet mammals have been perfected to thrive on. Cellular wisdom in the mammalian genome is the pinnacle of four billion years of evolution and is based on a diet available in the primordial world. Creative humans in the last 10,000 years have revolutionized diet with the domestication of cereal crops, but the mammalian genome has not yet adapted to a diet high in soluble carbohydrate and excess energy. 10,000 years in the history of evolution is the same as one second in five days. The mammalian species is far better perfected to deal with lack of nutrition, the constant problem evolution had to solve.
